Emmanuelle Waeckerlé is a London based academic, artist, performer and improviser, working with the materiality and musicality of language.

Her practice emerges between text, image and performance, between the page and the body and her textual compositions, artist publications, installations, and participatory occasions seek meaningful ways of engaging with our interior or exterior landscape and each other.

She exhibits, performs and lead workshops nationally and internationally and some of her artists publications are in private and public collections including Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris, V & A,Tate Britain and the Poetry Library in London.

Emmanuelle has been greatly influenced by her initial encounter in 2006 and evolving connection with the Wandelweiser fluid community of composers, musicians and artists. In 2017 her double CD Ode (owed) to O was released by edition wandelweiser records and performed at Klangraum in Düsserldorf (july 2017), at café Oto (Feb 2018), at Constellation in Chicago (April 18) with a•pe•ri•od•ic ensemble.

Emmanuelle is a regular attendee of Eddie Prevost weekly improvisation workshop, a member of MOWO (MOPOMOSO workshop group), and founder member of Bouche Bée improvising trio on the edges of Language, with Petri Huurinainen (guitar) and John Eyles (saxophone).

She is a Reader in Photography and Relational Practices at UCA Farnham, and director of bookroom research and publishing platform. Her research interest lies in performative and participatory strategies, reading as an artistic practice, and in publishing as a critical and collaborative venture.
Between 2007and 2015 she was part of the small team running the Centre des livres d’artistes in St Yrieix, France.

Emmanuelle studied Photography with Mick Williamson at Sir John Cass (now Metropolitan University). She then completed an MA in Fine Art at the Slade school of Art in 1996 under Stuart Brisley. After a few years of part time lecturing on the Photography degree and the MA in Fine Art at Kent Institute of Art and design she was appointed senior lecturer in Visual communication at University for the Creative Arts in Farnham in the Photography department.
